Chapter 136: The Savior Has Arrived!

ted rabbit meat, and Bao Zhu was able to groom them to her heart's content, laughing gleefully.Mrs. Wen and Tao Hongying accompanied Mrs. Jia Er on either side. Seeing the old lady so happy and the ch...Li Laosi was stunned for a moment, not understanding how this general knew his name.

Upon closer inspection, the general had removed his helmet, revealing a handsome face.

Li Laosi and Li Lao san, as well as Jia Yi, immediately rushed over with joy, shouting, "Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye!"

Ye Gongzi opened her arms wide and hugged them tightly, also letting out a long sigh of relief.

Luckily, he came back earlier today, or he would have missed it!

"How did you get here I've been waiting for five whole months!"

"We were trapped in the mountains, climbing over forty peaks and spending a whole winter there before finally getting out only to run into barbarians!"

Li Laosi blurted out a few words and then quickly cried for help.

"Young Master Ye, please save everyone! These are all our villagers. My wife and Fu Niu went to the docks for help, but no one came!"

Young Master Ye frowned. He had passed by the docks earlier and heard the commotion and cries. It seemed that they were refusing to send troops to help over there!

He waved his hand and called the deputy general over, quickly giving him orders.

Soon, everyone was quickly helped onto their horses and hurried to the docks.

Those who were too injured to ride would be carried or borne by the soldiers.

From the bottom of their hearts, they truly admire these people.

If all the people of Tianwu were this brave, why would they have been conquered by barbarians who occupied the capital and drove them to the south

Having walked only a short distance, the group encountered Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru, along with Jiāhuān. They were desperately searching for Zhang Shenyi's luggage.

Upon suddenly seeing Master Ye and his family, the three of them burst into tears.

"Oh no, Young Master Ye, help us! My mother was shot with an arrow, and Fu Niu hit her head!"

"We need to find another divine physician's luggage to treat mother's injuries!"

Lady Ye was so startled that her face turned pale. She shouted, "Bring all the luggage!"

Having said that, he galloped away on horseback, racing towards the docks like a gust of wind.

Jia Yin cried so hard that her vision blurred. Through her tears, she saw someone running towards her and cried out, "Father! Father! Mother!"

Ye Gong flew down from his horse and scooped her up, “Don’t be afraid, Fu Niu, Uncle is here!”

Jiayin was stunned for a moment, and when she recognized Ye Gongzi, she hugged his neck and cried out loud!

"Waaah, my father killed a barbarian, and grandma bled! They didn't take me to save father!"

Master Ye gently patted her back. Those who heard these words would be confused, but he knew best that this little girl was probably not lying. She said she could save people, so she must have a way.

It's a pity that no one here believes her, and it has driven the little girl to this state.

At this time, Li Laosi and Tao Hongying and others also rushed back.

When Li Laosi heard his daughter's crying, his heart was like being cut by a knife. But the fact that his daughter could cry was a good thing. With a thud, he knelt down first beside his mother-in-law.

"Mother, how are you We're back! My brother and Jia Yi are fine!"

Elder Li bled half her body, and brought the elders to a frenzy, desperate just for this one sentence.

She could no longer hold on, and passed out completely.

"Mother!"

The Li family rushed forward like mad, Jia Yin also struggled in Ye Gongzi's arms, "Grandma, grandma!"

Jiarren threw down the axe in his hand and rushed over.

The general finally gained his freedom and leaped up, roaring with rage, “You damned scum! You dared to put a blade to my neck! Bring me men! Kill them all! Every last one of them!”

Ye Gongzi stepped forward and kicked him in the stomach, “Just now, seeing barbarians killing my Tianwu people, why didn't you send troops to respond”

The general was writhing in pain on the ground, unable to speak. The junior officer readily replied, “The general said it was too far to see clearly.”

Master Ye pointed at the old and weak women and children crying hysterically, "They're all right here in front of us, why don't you save them!"

The general said these people came too late, perhaps they were spies from the north!

The lieutenant's words were accurate, not exaggerating at all, but they completely exposed the general.

Young Master Ye, seething with rage, went straight up and kicked the general unconscious with one foot.

"Come here, bind him and lock him up! Tomorrow morning the general will come personally to file a complaint against him for the crime of failing to rescue those in danger!"

The lieutenant quickly added, "My lord, this is probably not a good idea. The general is the new brother-in-law of our Duke Dingbei... please show mercy, General!"

Ye Gongzi gave him a deep look. Was this a plea or a warning He naturally knew the difference.

The guards immediately rushed forward, pulled the screaming general away, and dragged him down.

For a moment, the pier fell silent. All the soldiers, especially the men from the Dingbei Army who had just witnessed their comrades' deaths without flinching, held their breaths.

For safety reasons, no ships are allowed to depart from the docks at night.

As the people couldn't reach the other side, they had to rest and tend to their injuries on the spot.

After what just happened, the Dingbei Army didn't dare to delay. They quickly sent tents and lit a bonfire.

All the old and young men in Clearwater Village were injured, luckily most of them were lightly wounded. There were seven or eight seriously wounded, including Old Mrs. Li and Jia Yin.

The number of people was simply too great, and Dr. Zhang couldn't handle it all by himself.

Soon, the military doctor on duty at the dock was also called over.

Outside the dock, several tents had been erected, each packed with people. Over the fires, medicinal jars hung, and the concoctions began to simmer.

Jia Yin lay listlessly beside her grandmother, her throbbing headache making her consciousness fluctuate between moments of clarity and darkness. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

Old Li's arrow had been removed, but she bled too much and remained unconscious. She even developed a high fever and started babbling incoherently.

"Funiu, my Funiu fell! Help me, please help my Funiu."

"Lao Si ah, Lao Si went to fight desperately, who will come to save us"

"Bless your heart, Funiu. You can't go out anymore; they think you're a monster and want to burn you!"

All the members of the Li family gathered around, their faces contorted with silent sobs.

Jia Xi Jia An's eyes were swollen like walnuts, "Woooo, I don't want grandma to die, and I don't want my little sister to die."

"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!" Tao Hongying slapped her son on the head, then, unable to bear it, hugged him and started crying too.

Old Four Li stood bare-chested, his body covered with numerous wounds of varying sizes. Though bandaged with cloth soaked in medicine, blood still seeped through.

Li Laosan was hanging by one arm, while Jia Yi had his leg bandaged.

But they all seemed to feel no pain, their eyes fixed on me and Jia Yin.

Ye Gongzi lifted the tent flap and walked in, reaching out to touch the old woman's forehead, then patting Jia Yin's small hand. Her eyes were filled with guilt.

"Don't worry, everyone. I've already sent someone to Jiangnan to get the medicine. As long as we hold on until tonight, everything will be fine."

All the members of the Li family nodded. To distract everyone, Young Master Ye inquired about what they would do after their separation.

Li Laoer led everyone to flee, encountering a tax collector at the city gate. They went around and entered the mountains, encountered packs of wolves, killed bandits, and spent the winter in the mountains, all the way until tonight.

"Young Master Ye, has Tianwu already rotted to its core To see the common people being slaughtered by barbarians, with soldiers and generals watching, they wouldn't even offer assistance!"

Li Lao Er couldn't hold it in any longer and finally asked a question.

Young Master Ye shook his head helplessly, "Kyoto's sudden southward migration was too hasty. Once we arrived, we inevitably relied on local families and relinquished some official positions. The garrison of Jinsha River is 30,000 troops led by the Dingbei Marquis. This general tonight is known as a playboy. Because his sister married the Dingbei Marquis as his new wife, he was assigned here."

He also regretted, "Because the task I was given was to quell the nearby barbarians, and I was leading troops around, so I couldn't stay at the dock and receive you in time."

Li Lao'er quickly said, "Young Master Ye, don't blame you, it was us who got delayed on the road. It's also this hateful dog general!"

"Tomorrow, he will no longer be a general." A flash of fury passed through Ye Gongzi's eyes. No one knew how heavy his heart was just now.

Had he not returned early, he would have only arrived in time to collect the bodies of the Li family!

"Won't you cause me trouble" The Li family didn't understand the intrigues of the court, but they knew that Dingbei Hou had so many soldiers and generals, he must be a very high-ranking official. Offending his brother-in-law wouldn't be a small matter.

Young Master Ye wasn't prepared to say more, he just let them rest assured.

Zhang Shenyi was in a panic, shouting outside, "Ye kid, come quickly! Hurry and find someone to help me out! Lao Zhao and the others are too badly injured!"

Young Master Ye and the Li brothers hurried out.

Uncle Zhao's wound on his back was too deep and long, he almost died. He only survived because of Doctor Zhang's silver needles that kept him alive.

The village head also lost an arm, was in pain and fainted. He could no longer swing his pipe pot.

Several other elders were also seriously injured. They returned just now, with the determination to die. They held back the barbarians, buying some time for the younger generations.

It's a blessing to be able to return in one piece.

At midnight, the herbs Ye Gongzi's people arranged were delivered, including a hundred-year-old ginseng.

Jiayin had no idea about any of this. The pain at the back of her head made her dizzy and nauseous. She often could only vomit, then for a brief moment after regaining consciousness, she would faint again, too late to save herself, let alone anyone else.

I'm so unlucky. Who would have thought she got thrown down by the big green one, grandma was holding her so tight and her head still hit a rock!

She was anxious, wanting to enter the space. But the space had inexplicably shut off at some point, leaving her in a state of confusion; she couldn't find the door anywhere!strations. They will definitely push all the blame onto the head of Jiulian Zhai's owner. In the end, they will only end up fighting amongst themselves and facing a bleak future in the southwest.”Seei...
